And none of my programs usually on screen are there

Looks fine as long as its reinstalling . . . I would download Malwarebytes and do a scan to be sure

windows is in process of updating the console(cmd prompt) which runs nearly everything

with an update the new consoles color will overwrite your existing color file(affects .ink files)

technet article says only do fresh install prevent issues

? are you an insider program?

did you get fall creators update(may have the console colors)

if you type windows console colors into bing you should get link to blog about this

this blog tell you how to change colors back(chart with old and new color values)
